Duck season

Anybody else around here besides me like to duck hunt regularly?

This year is shaping up to be the best duck season I've ever had since I started back in 1982.

We've only missed killing full Mallard limits on two hunts so far this year.

Three of us hunting today killed every Mallard we pulled the trigger on. Nothing got out. Had a group of five came in and killed all five of them.

Here's some pics from this week

I like to hog hunt, you can do it year-round and for the most part I do. But I don't do it this time of year, because duckhunting like this is too much fun.

Duck hunted only once in my life. Had a ball, not much flew in, but I ended the day with 5 ducks.

Absolutely love duck hunting, that black lab brings tears to my eyes...I miss my labs and all the days afield after ducks/pheasants/quail and doves. Haven't had a good place to go since moved to Texas.

We're still hard after them. Saw one of these for the first time in a couple years today...... I'm not wearing it unfortunately.

As seen here when we got four limits of them. I don't think I've ever been on a hunt where we had to stop shooting pintails because we reached the limit.

This is only about the 5th one I've even seen killed. A season or three can go by without even seeing one fly by. I'll bet I've seen less than 25 in my life.

Today, this drake black duck can in on a string and made a spectacular ending to a great hunt.

I agree sir... Shorting em at night while they glow would have to be much more entertaining than getting up soooo early and wading freezing water to kill em!

IMG_5521.JPG I guess this sub forum doesn't get accessed very often? I'll just add to this one rather than creating a new topic.

Anybody still dove hunting around here? We've been having two or three weekly hunts since the season opened Labor Day weekend, and have been doing really well this year. Tomorrow is the last day of our first season.

Ugh My dog is Getting old.....

I had permission on land but never even went. Some years are like that. Heck I was going to hog hunt tonight but tried to cut my leg off with a machete today so need to keep it elevated. Maybe tomorrow.stitches in leg.jpg bloody machete.jpg
